This course will cover the basic links between organic and polymer chemistry, state-of-the-art polymerization methods in industry and academia (e.g materials each method can synthesize), the synthesis of complex materials, chemical recycling of polymeric materials (chemistry, engineering, thermodynamics), polymeric nanoparticles (effect of shape on properties & applications and polymer elecronics.

The course provides an overview of tropospheric chemistry addressing issues from global to urban scale. It provides a basic understanding of processes and discusses recent laboratory studies, field and satellite measurements, and numerical modelling. The topics include photochemistry and aerosols, emissions and deposition, and fundamentals of the atmospheric nitrogen, sulfur and methane cycles.
